Film Description:
Inspired by “Qatsi trilogy”(Koyaanisqatsi,1982) and Zygmunt Bauman’s theory of liquid modernity, this film shows with a critical point of view with fantastic overtones, the director’s vision of destroyed spaces and isolated human beings in empty cities: Citizens inside home, watching helplessly as hundreds of thousands of people disappear due to the global health crisis in the new normal as the absence of normality.
However, the machinery of the globalized world has continued to destroy or operate in automatic mode for rebuilding everything that guarantees its development. It doesn´t matters if the zoonosis produced by an animal virus that could infects humans’ beings occurs by intensive animal farming, nor the eternal threat of global warming of the planet. All guilt is immediately forgiven to foster economic growth
